The wolf's lifeless body collapsed onto the ground, leaving an impression in the grass.

"That's good enough," Arthur said as he looked at his Experience bar increase again.
He was now very close to the next level and just needed a few more kills to hit it. The wolf he had fought was just the adult version of the Black Scruff Wolf he had seen in the second area.
It was a common thing in the game, especially for mobs that fell in the animal category. There were variants of the same mob, and a weaker mob could become strong over time too. There were even instances where a mob could mutate due to various conditions.
Of course, to Arthur, the current mob was easy since it was so common. In his past life, he had hunted thousands of them and was used to such enemies. Wolf type mobs were very common in forests after all.
This led to most of their move sets being similar too, allowing an experienced player to have an easier time predicting them.
GRRR!
"Just as I was wishing for it," Arthur looked in the darkness, spotting two more pairs of eyes.
Being wolves, it was normal for there to be more than one. They traveled in packs after all. The one that had attacked was just the one that had discovered him first.
Arthur quickly used inspect on them and checked their levels.
'Both level 5… Manageable.' Arthur thought as he got ready.
Grr!row!
The newly arrived Adult Black Scruff Wolves were not much of a challenge for Arthur as he threw the bone torch right away at the closest one.
Whimper!
The wolf was clearly afraid of the fire and jumped to dodge it, but Arthur took this opportunity to strike its companions.

Similar to before, Arthur finished off the level 5 wolf in just three hits. The skill of the Black Tear Sword was essential to this, as it provided him with the brief burst of speed needed to slash fast.
But that wasn't all, as the true reason behind Arthur's success lay in his understanding of the mob.
'These wolves can't change their direction once they jump. As long as one can predict when they jump and the distance they can cover, it is easy to dodge and counterattack.' Arthur thought as he turned to the second wolf.
It had barely recovered from being startled by the torch and hadn't even registered the fact that its companion had died.
Woof?
As if confused, it barked at Arthur but then saw the man rush towards him.
Grr!
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm It opened its jaws to bite at Arthur, but he turned his sprint into a roll, changing the direction at the last moment.
Slick!
[-22% HP]
The Black Tear Short Sword side the open mouth of the Adult Black Scruff Wolf, leaving a long gash that went to the back of its head. If it weren't for the fact that Arthur had made this cut while dodging, it would have been deep enough to have cut off its arteries.
Whimper!
But it was still enough to make the beast cry in pain. Arthur quickly turned around to take advantage of its shock, quickly stabbing through its back.

[Critical Hit!]
[Fatal Hit!]
The Black Tear Short Sword was directly stabbed into its heart, ending its life ultimately.

"Phew~! That was a quick workout." Arthur wiped the dirt and grass from his face.
He didn't lower his guard yet though, as he knew it was far from ending.
"Come on, come on… I know you all are still hiding there." Arthur said while he picked up the bone torch.
Three wolves were nowhere enough to form a pack, thus Arthur knew there should still be more lurking in the back.
HOWL!
HOWL!
HOWL!
And sure enough, he saw several more approaching.
"A bit more… but it should be fine." Arthur now had better confidence.
Having fought three already, he had a better grip on his actions.
This time, four Adult Black Scruff Wolves appeared at the same time. All of them were at level 5 but this time they looked to be a bit wary. They had heard the dying cries of their companions and knew that the prey in front of them was not weak.
Still, Arthur didn't mind it and took the initiative this time. Jumping into the fray, Arthur used a series of dodges and slashes to take care of the wolves.
In just three minutes, he had finished them off, accruing a nice amount of experience.
>Player Arzhur has killed an Adult Black Scruff Wolf!< x 5
>Player Arzhur has obtained 2% Experience!< x 5
>Player Arzhur has leveled up!<
>Player Arzhur has obtained 5 free stat points<
The experience he got was just enough to level up too.
"That'll make it a bit easier…" Arthur said as he pulled up his status screen.

He quickly distributed his points, this time raising some of his dexterity and focusing more on Vitality.
'My Wisdom and Will are supported by the accessories for the most part. I'll just need to raise them a bit more to reach the requirement.' Arthur thought to himself.
But before he went any further, he finished butchering the corpses of the Adult Black Scruff Wolves he had killed. They would net him a decent amount after all.
